How does the county know if a vehicle has been permitted by the state to operate an overweight vehicle under Transportation Code §623.011 or §623.402?
Transportation Code §623.013 says that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles will make available a searchable and downloadable list by county of each permit issued under Transportation Code §623.011. If the county would like a copy of the permit and bond or letter of credit for the permit, the county must request it from TxDMV.
